Dating is difficult, and adolescent dating is "Mission Impossible."

Not only do you have to interact with another human (we all know how stressful this is,) you have to access whether you and this fellow human are compatible (whatever that means), all while looking fly. We're all looking for that special something, right? But there has to be an easier way to find it. We have found the answer: investigative journalism.

It's the perfect technique! To really get to the heart of the matter (your date) you just have to ask the right questions. As self-proclaimed experts, we provide you with the essential first date questions to ask before you start stuffing breadsticks in your purse. Trust us. We're journalism minors.

1. "Meek Mill or Drake?"

Make sure your date is on the right side of history or else his/her hotline won't be "blinging" anytime soon. Ya feel?

2. "Are you a Trump supporter?"

Don't be fooled by his eloquent turn-of-phrase or the fact that she has a high school diploma. Trump supporters lurk where you'd least expect them. Beware. Look under the toupee.

3. "Does bae pray?"

Yes, we are fervent believers in "Church Boy Swag." But even for those not big on Holiness, religion will come up eventually. Don't wait 'til Christmas. Depending on how you feel about your date's answer, you might want to slam the door shut on more than a few Jehovah's Witnesses.

4. "Do black lives matter? Or do all lives matter?"

Please make the right choice. I'm practically begging you.

5. "How many people have blocked you on Instagram?"

I know you have lots of h8ers, but if you've terrorized more than 10 people in the social media platform, perhaps you should be also blocked from my life.

6. "How many times a week do call your parents?"

Here, we find out the balance between a person with family values and the mama's boys real quick.

7. "Do you send Snapchats that are also on your story?"

You're telling me you didn't send me a video of your cat because you thought of me? The utter disrespect. Can't have those kinds of people in your life.

8. "Chick-Fil-A or Zaxby's?"

It's the question that ends friendships and tears apart families, much like their breaded chicken does in your hands.

9. "Netflix and Chill or Hulu and Commitment?"

Even if she has Amazon Prime, with this question, you'll find out their relationship views, and hopefully get their account password before the "Gilmore Girls" special.

10. "What's your GPA?"

We're not saying that grades are everything. But if the date doesn't go well romantically, maybe you can find yourself a ~chemistry~ tutor. We're just looking out.

11. "Do you read... books?"

We like our boys the way we like 99 percent of the United States. Literate.

12. "Hit the gym or hit the quan?"

There a two types of people in the world: those looking for workout buddies and those looking for dance partners. (We are the latter.)

13. "Don't you love Olivia Benson?"

If they respond "I don't like 'Law & Order,' especially 'SVU'" or "Who's that? Why are you trying to strangle me?" they are not the one for you. Don't bother. #bringbackstabler

14. "Were they or weren't they on a break?"

Ross is wrong. He cheated on Rachel. I said it. Someone had to. Your date's answer to this indicates much.

15. "How many people have you killed?"

Laugh all you want. Say I've been watching too much "How To Get Away With Murder" and am "over-dramatic." But don't come crying to us when your fiance is featured on "Snapped" and you're on "Dateline" saying you never thought to ask. I will say I told you so.

16. "What's your credit score?"

Ha ha. Just joking. Why would you want that personal information? But, you know, you might want to just causally inquire if they'd get approved for a new car next week if they tried. Casual.

17. "And your social security number?"

You're just trying to get to know them! Who they are! Their story. They shouldn't be so paranoid. Quite an unattractive quality.

18. "Do you have protection against identity theft?"

You just want to know what it's like to walk in their shoes.
